Summary
Andrews requested annual numbers of recipients from 1970 to 1977; the Minister provided a tabular statement.
asked the Minister for Social Welfare the number of deserted wives in receipt of the various entitlements under the social welfare code on 31st March in each year from 1970 to 1977 inclusive.
Comment on this
As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement I propose with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle to circulate it with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:
Numbers receiving deserted wife's benefit or deserted wife's allowance at 31st March.
*Deserted wife's allowance came into effect on 1st October, 1970.
†Deserted wife's benefit came into effect on 5th July, 1973.
